The stamp is only affixed to an original of the established form and in good condition. A laminated document, a Soviet-era form or one with corrections will not be apostilled: you need a duplicate first.
- 2
Have a notarised copy made
The notary certifies that the copy is a true copy. The apostille is then affixed by the Ministry of Justice to the notary's signature, so the original stays with you.

Translate the document into the language of the destination country and have it notarised
The translation is bound to the document and the translator’s signature is certified by a Russian notary. Whether a Russian notarised translation is accepted in Ethiopia we have not confirmed from an official source: check with the consulate before paying. Some countries require the translation to be made locally or certified by the consulate itself.

Have the notary's signature certified by the Ministry of Justice
The first link in consular legalisation: the territorial body of the Ministry of Justice confirms the signature and seal of the notary on the copy or the translation.

Have it done for you
A CDEK courier collects the document anywhere in Russia and returns it with the apostille or legalisation. You pay step by step once a manager has confirmed the scope and the price.
